This has probably been addressed before but
Does any one know of a source for MOOG UP/LOW ball joints
1970 dart 4 piston disc K/H suspension
Locals here have no clue
Was going to order kit from pst but I think I read comments on here that they are junk
Any comments ??
THANKS
TOM

Ball joints are no big deal to obtain.
Just go over to your local NAPA Store, or any parts store in your city.
Or order online from Rock Auto.

I went to Rock auto they only have MOOG listed for drum brakes
They list Raybestos prof grade and Acdelco (GM ??) brands for disc brake appl
I went to the MOOG website and their only listing is for drum application
Guess I'll go with the raybestos
Thanks

On the LBJ's you can redrill the 2 holes on the drum ones to fit the disc apps. Was quite a few years ago but iirc it was 67-72 A application & went from 1/2" to 9/16". Other than that they are identical and there was plenty of material in that area to safely enlarge em & the metal was soft & took minutes to drill out. At your parts house compare a drum one in the brand you want to the other brand disc item & see for yourself

Look up the moog part numbers in the search function at rock auto.

K7021 and 7023

They have them for around $55 IIRC

See if your NAPA has the NAPA NASCAR ball joints. Those have a special inner that really extends the life. Better than Moog IMO.
